UN report calls for ban on sex changes for children, declares transgenderism a threat to women

[SingleSexSpacesInSchools]

A United Nations draft report by the special rapporteur on violence against women affirmed what many critics have long warned: that there is a “concerted international push (to) erase” women and girls, and that gender dysphoria is “socially contagious.”

Will read in a while , but this is v welcome

Thank God for that.

The UNSR VAWG has received, and continues to receive endless flak for her stance on this - from within the UN and well as externally. She has such integrity and courage. No idea how she bears the weight of the knowledge of the global violence and abuse meeted out to women - but somehow she does, and continues to speak out on all the horrors, from Afganistan to Syria, judicial abuses, surrogacy, DV, prostitution, CSA, rape. And trans ideology.
She is a heroine.

The report itself is event better than the article:

Key terminology
“Sex” is understood as a biological category and as a distinction between women and men, as well as between boys and girls. References to “sex” refer to the biological distinction between males and females, characterized by divergent evolved reproductive pathways through which, all else being equal, males develop bodies oriented around the production of small gametes and females develop bodies oriented around the production of large gametes.
As evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins notes: “Sex is a true binary. It all started with the evolution of anisogamy – sexual reproduction where the gametes are of two discontinuous sizes: macrogametes or eggs, and microgametes or sperm.”

The term “gender”, on the other hand, has been defined by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women as the social meanings given to biological sex differences. It is supplementary to and built upon biological differences between women and men. It refers to the stereotyped roles, attitudes, prejudices and social and cultural practices that result in the subordination of women to men. In the last few decades, the term “gender”
has wrongly been taken to be synonymous with the term “sex”, including in some international declarations and instruments.

Absolutely this. A side point, however - I don't actually know who Johnathan van Maren is, but his comments about Alsalem's work as somehow deriving from his own commentary on the issues seems unnecessary at best and stereotypical male appropriation of a woman's work at worst. Alsalem has been an isolated, very pressured and bravely raised voice within the overwhelmingly captured U.N. for a considerable time, and she deserves better than this belittling attitude towards her heroic stand.

Bloody hell, that’s excellent.

Surely the tickle v giggle case in Australia is going to turn its previous judgement about, now. Supreme Court ruling UK, a few other rulings in the UK (Sandie P, Brighton rape centres, Maya), cass, and now this from the UN.

Australia are sexist and misogynist often, but surely even they, now will arise from the gender woo bat shittery. I hope so for all Aus women and girls.

God just writing that down (above) I’m So happy to live on Terf island. Compared to the serious despair I felt until very recently.

She can be written to and thanked. I'm sure she's getting a lot of nasty messages right now for supporting W&G. She's a very brave woman

Is this different to the report already discussed here?

(I think there was another thread as well but cant find it)

New draft I think? Has a newer date

This is very good news and hopefully a continuation of slowly returning sanity.

Someone needs to let UN Women know. They are full on TWAW.

Amazing wonderful fantastic

Hear hear

Excellent idea.

I’d be v cautious of sharing her email publicly here - bad actors can read this site too.

If people want to write they should go direct to the UN expressing their enthusiastic support, because you can be sure they'll be whine-bombed by the genderist's army of online nutnuts.

Blimey the UN has finally started to join the dots.

Haven't they vocally been 'allies' in the past on social media?

This is excellent news. Thanks for sharing this @SingleSexSpacesInSchools You’ve made my day already!

This is brilliant news. What a smart, brave woman she is.

She’s brilliant and courageous.

This isn’t the “UN” per se, it’s one individual special rapporteur to the UN, specifically the rapporteur for violence against women, Reem Asalem. Her role is advisory - and she has always been very vocal in her thoughts on this subject, and the “allies” have vilified her for it.

I got a lovely reply back, so I know she received it. I'm glad she knows that there are those of us out there that are grateful she's fighting for us.

The report is long but worth a read, sadly I think too many TRAs will just read the article and clutch their pearls and claim they are being erased. The full report clearly calls for protections for all, including the trans community, but clarifies the existence and separateness of women/girls, just like the SC ruling.
